Retroactive war crime protection proposed

Retroactive war crime protection proposed by the current president When are Americans regardless of which side of the political spectrum they fall on going to stand up and say WTF? I serve this nation in the armed forces and although I am just a lowly grunt and the Geneva Convention is not some vague document that isn’t clear enough to me. Since our nation signed it generations of soldiers sailors and marines have been trained understand what the provisions mean. This latest move by GW is nothing more than an attempt to shield himself and others like him from being prosecuted for war crimes. We have a difficult job to do at the bequest of the civilians who count on us to protect them from the boogie man of the moment. War fighting is a serious business. We're not a social club or a fraternal organization and we don't pretend to be. As soldiers, our message to our foes has always been essentially the same. "We own this side of the street! Threaten my country or our allies and we will come over to your side of the street, burn your hut down, and whisper in your ear "can you hear me now? And then secure your heartbeat. We do this for you; this is what the American people expect us to do. Just don’t waste our time with trivial who is wrong or who is right we; after all are not politicians but merely puppets dancing to the pull of a string.
